Full-Leather. Condition: Fair. A fair to good set in 2 volumes, in contemporary full leather binding.M Jean de la Quintinye was trained as a lawyer, but is famed for his skills in kitchen gardening. He was commissioned by Louis XIV to create a new kitchen garden for Versailles - which can still be visited today. He is said to be… the first gardener to advocate pruning young fruit trees hard to ensure better growth and fruiting for the future. This set is in contemporary speckled calf bindings with raised bands and gilt decoration and titles to spines. The bindings are sound but worn, with wear to corners, edges and the top and bottom of the spines. The gilt is particularly worn on Vol I. Vol II has some cracking to the top of the front joint.

Full-Leather. Condition: Good. First English edition. First English edition. Illustrated with an engraved portrait frontispiece, nine engraved plates (of eleven - so LACKING two plates), a few small wooducts in the text, many charming engraved chapter headings, folio, title page printed in red and black, pp (42), 188, 208, 4, 80…, the top, bottom and fore-edge red, a few blemishes internally but overall very clean, the hinge before the frontispiece cracked but sound, contemprary calf, rebacked probably in the ealy nineteenth century, a little bumped and worn, the spine with more wear and a little splitting and fraying at the head and tail. An early un-named owner, obviously a knowledgeable and proficient gardener, has contributed half a page of manuscript notes on the first front blank, in which he questions, inter alia, why the author has not included mustard-seed in the list of all things that a kitchen-garden should contain; there are also neat marginal notes throughout in the same hand - these are in no way detrimental, and indeed enhance the book. Blanche Henrey 218. [One of the most influential books in the history of fruit culture. Evelyn's edition (though almost certainly the translation work of George London) not only brought the French work to an entirely new audience, it added short sections on the culture of orange trees and melons which were not in the original.].

8vo. pp. 1 p.l., xiv, [4], xv-xxxv, 309 i.e. 325], [7]. 11 engraved plates (incl. frontis.; 10 folding). 1 engraved text illus. contemporary paneled calf, rebacked with worn spine mounted, corners renewed (some light foxing & browning, light dampstaining to some leaves, some plates with few tears - no loss). cloth slipcase. Seco…nd Edition of George London and Henry Wise's corrected abridgement of the English translation of La Quintinye's Instruction pour les jardins fruitiers et potages. John Evelyn was credited with the English translation published in folio format in 1693 although Henrey (British Botanical and Horticultural Literature before 1800, Vol. I, p. 189) notes that George London may have had some hand in it. La Quintinye was successively responsible for the gardens of the Prince de Condé, Mademoiselle de Montpensier, the Duc de Montausier, and Jean-Baptiste Colbert. On March 17, 1670, he was introduced by Colbert to Louis XIV, who named him 'director of the fruit gardens and vegetable gardens of all the royal houses', a position created especially for him. In 1678, he began the creation of the new kitchen garden at Versailles, completed five years later in 1683. This garden is now classified as a historical monument since 1921. In reward for his services La Quintinye was knighted by Louis XIV in 1687. George London and Henry Wise who were responsible for the English abridgement became partners in Brompton Park Nursery in 1700, building it into the foremost Nursery Garden in England over the next quarter century. As leading garden designers of the period their names are associated with Chatsworth, Castle Howard and Melbourne. London held the appointment of Master Gardener and Deputy Superintendent of the Royal Gardens during the reign of William III while Wise was responsible for the upkeep of the Royal parks and gardens during the reign of Queen Anne. Our copy appears to be an unrecorded variant; while it is a stated second edition, the imprint makes no mention of the book being sold by Andrew Bell. Wing L432-432a. Henrey 219-220.

"La Quintinie was one of the great French agriculturists of the 17th century. He was also interested in horticulture and gardens, and Louis XIV felt his work was so important that he created for him the post of Directeur Général des Potagers Royaux. Though La Quintinie held this post with distinction for forty years, his modesty was such that he published nothing of his own during his lifetime. This was rectified shortly after his death when the Instructions Pour les Jardins Fruitiers et Potagers was brought out in 1690. It was so practical and filled such a need that it went into many editions " (Hunt). Sprache: Francais.

A superb set, occasional toning, very sporadically scattered marginal foxing, else a beautifully printed, clean, crisp wide-margined copy in handsome period binding. Brunet III 838. Hunt 388. Oak Spring Pomona 1. Pritzel 5075. Originally published (posthumously) in Paris, in 1690. Probably the most influential book in the history of pomology, by the leading French gardener of the seventeenth century. For more than 20 years, beginning in 1665, La Quintinie worked as gardener to Louis XIV, rising steadily with ever-expanding titles. The potager at Versailles, constructed from 1677 to 1683, is the most famous of the fruit and kitchen gardens he oversaw in all the royal houses to meet the needs of the court: asparagus in December and strawberries in April, as well as the King's favorite figs. This book, published by La Quintinie's son Michel, introduced his methods to a wide audience, with detailed instructions for planting, pruning and espaliering fruit trees, and cultivating vegetables. Later editions, such as our copy, added to the directions for pruning and thinning out buds sections on melons and flowers, as well as advice on dealing with orange tress and La Quintinie's reflection on agriculture. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.

2 volumes. The last authorized edition of the most famous manual on gardening and the cultivation of vegetables and fruits, first printed (posthumously) in 1690 and here finally for the Compagnie des Libraires Associés. Apart from many pirated editions, printed in Amsterdam (1692, 1697), Geneva (1695, etc.) and Paris (1715, 1716…), authorized editions, following the imposing large 4to format, integral text and illustrations of the 1690 edition, were published in Paris in 1697, 1700, 1725, 1730, 1739, 1740 and the present 1756. This immensely popular and influential manual - translated into English by John Evelin (The compleat Gard'ner, 1693) and Italian, with adaptations in German and Portuguese - was a great European success and remained the symbol of the French classical arboriculture and horticulture throughout the 18th century. It contains detailed instructions for planting, pruning and espaliering fruit trees and cultivating vegetables, and was probably also the most influential book in the history of pomology.With the armorial bookplate of Jacobs Florentius Demory on the verso of both title-pages. Bindings a little worn, especially around the spine, corners bumped, head of spine a bit damaged, tear in one of the folding plates, but otherwise in good condition.l Pritzel 5075; Fanny Blanchard, Les éditions françaises et allochtones de l'Instruction pour les jardins de J.B. de la Quintinie (thesis, Lyon 2015), pp. 55-60; cf.

L'illustration se compose de : 8 bandeaux représentant des jardiniers au travail, placés en tête des six parties de l'Instruction, du Traité de la culture des orangers et des Réflexions sur l'agriculture ; du portrait de l'auteur en frontispice ; d'1 planche à double page représentant le potager du roi à Versailles ; 1 autre planche double montrant les manières de préparer un arbre pour le planter ; 3 planches d'outils (serpettes, scies, greffoir) ; et 8 planches matérialisant la taille d'arbres en fonction de leur nombre de branches et de leur âge. Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie (1626-1688), fameux jardinier et agronome français, a rassemblé toute son expérience et livré ses toutes ses réflexions dans cette Instruction, qui lui assura une immense gloire posthume. L'ouvrage se démarque des autres traités agricoles de son temps par la méthode rationnelle qu'il propose, par son éloquence et par son inclination scientifique ; il s'imposa, en quelques décennies, comme une référence dans le domaine de la culture des arbres fruitiers et connut une traduction anglaise dès 1693, ainsi que de nombreuses contrefaçons. La Quintinie abandonna la profession d'avocat pour se consacrer à l'art des jardins ; il s'occupa de ceux des grands personnages de l'époque (Nicolas Fouquet, le prince de Condé, le duc de Montausier, Colbert). En 1670 Louis XIV le chargea de la direction de ses jardins fruitiers et potagers. Ensuite, pour cinq années, il se consacra à la création du nouveau potager du roi. On doit à ce jardinier du Grand Siècle d'avoir enrichi l'horticulture "des apports de la physiologie végétale, de la botanique et des premiers rudiments de la chimie" (Martine Constans, Jardiner à Paris au temps des rois, 2003). Il contribua également à la distinction entre les divers métiers spécialisés dans la création de jardin : jardiniers, fleuristes, botanistes, maréchais, etc. Ex-libris manuscrit non identifié et ex-libris manuscrit "Buous" à la page 3 de la quatrième partie. Bon exemplaire. Reliures restaurées et dos refaits. Quelques feuillets uniformément brunis, décharges, petites taches d'encre sur les tranches. Pritzel 5075.

Paris, Henri Desbordes, 1697, 2 tomes en 1 volume in-4, portrait gravé de l'auteur par A. de Blois d'après De La Mare-Richart en frontispice - (28)-276 pp. - 140 pp.- 8 pp., reliure de l'époque de plein velin ivoire à recouvrements, titre anciennement manuscrit à l'encre brune en haut du dos, bel exemplaire. Jean-Baptiste de La…Quintinie (1624-1688), fut grand jardinier de Louis XIV et créateur du Potager du roi à Versailles. L'ouvrage est orné d'un portrait de l'auteur gravé par A. de Blois d'après de La Mare-Richart, 11 jolies vignettes en-tête de chapitre, 13 planches gravées hors-texte dont 2 dépliantes ( plan dépliant du jardin potager de Versailles et une planches des diverses racines d'arbres fruitiers), et 12 gravures dans le texte. Brunet (III-838) mentionne l?édition originale de 1690 puis la seconde édition de 1695. (Graesse IV-106. Oberlé Fastes de Bacchus 620). Jean de La Quintinie est né à Chabanais, près d?Angoulême en 1626, mort à Versailles en 1688. Destiné au barreau, il vient à Paris pour se faire recevoir avocat ; mais une passion véritable pour l?agriculture, lui fit trouver plus de charme dans la lecture de Virgile, Columelle, Rapidement Louis XIV créa pour lui la charge de directeur-général des jardins à fruits et potagers de ses maisons royales. La Quintinie a dessiné les potagers de Chantilly pour le prince de Condé, de Rambouillet pour le duc de Montansier, de Sceaux pour Colbert et de Vaux pour Fouquet. Son livre posthume fut longtemps regardé comme le seul guide des jardiniers. Ex dono manuscrit de Pierre GALICHET sur la page de garde : "Cadeau de Mr Galichet, Aide de Camp de Mr le Général LOCHET à Hohenstadt le 7e Aout 1806.". Rappelons que Pierre Gallichet, fit les guerres napoléonniennes, avec beaucoup de bravoure, élévé au titre de baron de l'Empire, sa vie romanesque l'amena à finir ses jours en Pologne, ou devenu baron polonais et propriétaire d'un beau domaine à Izdebno, ou il créa une distillerie moderne pour l'époque.
